Re: lantern slide collections
Lisa,
We have just under 200 lantern slides dating from about 1890s to 1930. One
of the larger sets depicts the construction of the current New Bedford -
Fairhaven Bridge, the smallest: a set of original Wilson A. "Snowflake"
Bentley lantern slides of snow crystals. The remainder are of local street
scenes and historic homes.
We don't have a Magic Lantern.
